That Ray Rodiriguez is on a very elusive 45.

Loads of fantastic latin stuff with a northern vibe, some LP only but lots on 45. Tend to find a lot turn up in battered condition, especially the rarer stuff.

A banging "northern" latin number i play a bit (cos it's cheap and im from Yorkshire!!), is this on Alegre...........

Most of the stuff on the 'Fania' label

Harvey Averne 'Viva Soul' album is great a few choice tracks on there, and not at all expensive (especially from https://www.honestjon...30341&CatID=132)

Oh yeah, ZuZu Man by the ZuZu Blues Band (Dr John) is pure class and never cease to cheer me up when I hear it, and the 1st time I really heard it was on the That Driving Beat 1st anniversary CD - Cheers LJC!

I have the Cotique 45, it came from a weird place, basement of the lead male singer of Jefferson Airplane's father LOL, looks like your basic styrene cotique 45, sounds great of course. Did very well last week on the dance floor

There's quite a few out there, but these are some of my favourites:

First time I heard this it was played by Mace at Driving Beat & sounded awesome,one of my fave tunes at the moment.

Other Latin tunes that do it for me are.......

David Coleman-Drown My Heart

Jack Costanza-Don't Squeeze The Peaches

Manny Corchando-Pow Wow

Harvey Averne-The Word

Lots more that don't come to mind at the moment.

Cheers

'Kin nice one Preems.....

The Fuentes is tough enough but on Cotique....wow...must be one of the rarest 45s on the label.

Not doubting you but any chance of label scans for an anorak... .

and just love this one

Is that the album version? Definately an extended intro to the 45 Pt 2 version on flip of the Fania 45.

Pretty sure that the Uptite scan on this Youtube clip you posted only has the Pt1 version (not the one actually playing), which is much slower and nowhere near as good, with a totally different flip?

Pt1 on clip below....

This is probably my favourite Joe Bataan track......on the flip of Fania 45 release of Special Girl, and also released as Naatab on Uptite 45......

Didn't have Cotique release number, so just done a new search and found one on Worthpoint that sold last March, but interestingly the label design ( type/font ) differ to yours....link below...

What northern but good, well sometimes, dance music? as are many of the pics you included.

Great dance music......more associated with the mod scene really.

debate on if latin is northern? this time on a friday, nah, lol. you maybe right wiggy, but I'll certainly be spinnin a few prime latino cuts @ change tommorow before the nighter in stoke, whatever you do this weekend, have a good en.

Lol..........off to Turkey for a week....hope i find another Turkish WB copy of My Heart Needs A break

That's what the thread was asking for though - your favourite latin tinged northern tracks. Some great one's mentioned so far, and some really nice latin soul tunes (certainly not northern but awesome none the less).

The Jade - Siesta is over, would probably fall into the northern latin style.

I always thought the danceable version (upbeat one in the first youtube clip) was the LP version Mace?

Yes, the good version's on Fania and in the box!

Yup Pt2 only available on 45 on flip of Fania 45. Just took the time to read the actual description on the first Youtube clip posted with the Uptite label and it's an edit that some-one has done by extending the intro etc. Proper Pt2 clip below...with an added plug for March 10th....

HI ALL HAVE A FEW, BUT FOR EVERY RIGHT REASON, THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST, & THE LP ? DAVE

All of the Ralphi Pagin stuff on Fania is great, not Northern, but oh so soulful.

LP version slightly different to that first clip i posted, piano and vocals kick in much sooner and sounds less produced , more raw ,if you know what i mean, this is the full version of the RIOT lp i posted, part 2 starts at about 3:50

What about this one? it has to be Joe Cuba's rarest 45 and a cracking dancer it is. Always beleived as LP track only, it does exists as a 7"!!

JOE CUBA - WHAT A BABY - TICO
